Interface ILoopbackPeerCheck

Namespace

VpnHood.AppUi.Hosting.Desktop.Platform

Assembly

VpnHood.AppUi.Hosting.Desktop.dll

Defines how a process checks that the far end of a loopback connection it made belongs to the process it meant to reach, as far as the platform can tell.

public interface ILoopbackPeerCheck

Remarks

The service frees a dead listener's port before its channel names the next, and anyone may take it. Windows reads the owning process from its TCP table; Linux checks the owning user; the Windows plug-in, whose app runs in the window's process, checks only that the process meant is this one.

Methods

IsOwnedBy(IPEndPoint, IPEndPoint, int, CancellationToken)

Checks whether the far end of a loopback connection belongs to a process, as far as the platform can tell.

Returns

Task<bool>

A task whose result is true where the platform's check passes.
